Ningbo Toprise Security Products Co., Ltd., as a company with 20 years of experience in exporting road traffic cones, is dedicated to providing quality guranteed road traffic cones to customers worldwide. Here, we share how to choose the best road traffic cones.
What are the materials of road traffic cones?
PVC (polyvinyl chloride) traffic cones
This is the most common road cone material, with good flexibility and weather resistance. The road cone made of PVC material is affordable, has good pressure resistance and impact resistance, and is suitable for long-term exposure to outdoor use. They can effectively resist the sun and rain and are not easy to fade or deform. There are two kinds of PVC cones on the market: one is a PVC cone formed in one piece, and the other is to reduce costs. The above is PVC material, and the bottom is usually rubber material.
PVC road cones can usually be equipped with PVC high-gloss reflective covers, lattice reflective covers, and 3M reflective covers.

| 90CM | 37*37CM | 4.1KG | |
| 90CM | 37*37CM | 4.5KG |
PE(polyethylene) traffic cones
PE cone has high wear resistance and impact resistance, is relatively light weight, and is suitable for moderate-strength outdoor environments. They are usually lighter than PVC road cones, but they also have some resistance to pressure. PE cones are more affordable than PVC cones.
The color of the PE cone is usually red on the top, and the base is made of black rubber or pure rubber.PE cones are usually equipped with PVC highlighter reflective covers.
| PIC. | HEIGHT/CM | BASE/CM | WEIGHT/KG |
 | 50CM | 29*29CM | 1.5KG |
| 75CM | 39*39CM | 2.5KG | |
| 100CM | 49*49CM | 5.0KG |
Rubber traffic cones
The rubber cone is heavy and suitable for occasions where a fixed position is needed, especially in windy places. The rubber cone has strong pressure resistance, is durable, and is not easy to crush by vehicles. They are commonly used for temporary road closures, worksites, and construction areas. Rubber cones usually have a black rubber background, but they are covered with red, white, yellow, black, and other colors of high-light lattice reflective covers.
| PIC. | HEIGHT/CM | BASE/CM | WEIGHT/KG |
 | 45CM | 31*31CM | 1.6KG |
| 50CM | 30*30CM | 1.8KG | |
| 60CM | 32*32CM | 1KG | |

| 75CM | 37CM*37CM | 2.5/3/4KG | |
| 95CM | 45CM*45CM | 4/4.5KG |
EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer) traffic cones
EVA is a soft and flexible material commonly used for lightweight cones. The road cone made of EVA material can be quickly restored to its original shape after compression, with strong impact resistance and light weight, which is easy to carry and place. EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer)EVA is a soft and flexible material commonly used for lightweight cones. The road cone made of EVA material can be quickly restored to its original shape after compression, with strong impact resistance and a light weight that is easy to carry and place.

| 90CM | 42*42CM | 4.0/4.5KG | |
| 100CM | 48*48CM | 5KG |
Nylon/polyester waterproof folding traffic cones
The top of the folding cone is made of nylon or polyester waterproof fabric, which is not only durable but also waterproof, can be folded and expanded, and reflective strips are sewn into the fabric to ensure that it can be clearly seen at night or in low visibility. The bottom is usually made of PP or ABS material. The main feature of this reflective strip is that it is easy to carry and easy to take out at any time for a road emergency. It is usually very suitable for family vehicles to be equipped with folding road cones, which can be taken out for emergency emergencies when the car breaks down on the road. The folding cone is usually used with a lamp attached to the top of the cone.
| PIC. | HEIGHT/CM | BASE/CM | WEIGHT/KG |
 | 30CM | 17*17CM | 0.25 |
| 40CM | 24*24CM | 0.38 | |
| 45CM | 25*25CM | 0.55 | |
| 50CM | 24*24CM | 0.40 | |
| 55CM | 30*30CM | 0.70 | |
| 70CM | 30*30CM | 0.77 |
| PIC. | HEIGHT/CM | BASE/CM | WEIGHT/KG |
 | 41 | 24.5*24.5CM | 1.25KG |
| 45 | 26*26C M | 1.25KG | |
| 70 | 30CM*30CM | 2.2KG | |
| 90 | 35*35CM | 3.0KG |
The above different materials of the road cones with the same size price are the most favorable: PE road cones and EVA road cones, followed by PVC road cones and folding road cones. Rubber road cones, because of the weight of the price, will be more expensive than other materials of the road cones.
